Task 1: Create README.md with full open-source documentation
README.md
Create README.md at project root in English. Structure it with these sections:
**Header area:**
- Project name "Zauberwald" with a one-line tagline: "A magical typing tutor that teaches touch typing through an AI-generated enchanted forest"
- Short paragraph explaining the concept: a web app for teaching a 7-year-old child touch typing via QWERTZ keyboard, combining structured typing exercises with a dynamically growing AI-generated forest world. Curiosity-driven, not score-driven.
- Screenshot placeholder: ``
**Features section** (bullet list):
- 10-finger touch typing with QWERTZ (DE/CH) on-screen keyboard with color-coded finger zones
- 3-phase micro-lessons: Discover, Practice, Build Words (90-120 seconds each)
- AI-generated forest rewards (Gemini API) — new forest elements appear after each lesson
- 4 companion characters (Fee Lila, Einhorn Stella, Fuchs Finn, Eule Elsa) with AI-generated dialogue
- Adaptive tempo that adjusts to the child's speed
- No visible scores, timers, or error counters — progress shown only through the growing forest
- Parent dashboard (Ctrl+Shift+E + code) with statistics, export/import, settings
- Audio feedback (key sounds, rewards) and optional speech output
- Offline-capable with IndexedDB storage (images cached as blobs)
- Watercolor pastel art style with gentle animations
**Tech Stack section:**
- Vanilla TypeScript (no framework)
- Vite 6.x (build tool)
- Biome (linting)
- Vitest (testing)
- Gemini API (text: gemini-2.5-flash, images: gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview)
- IndexedDB for client-side persistence
- Web Audio API + Web Speech API
**Prerequisites:**
- Node.js 18+
- npm
- Google Gemini API key (for AI features; app works with fallbacks without it)
**Getting Started:**
```bash
git clone
cd zauberwald
npm install
cp public/config.example.json public/config.json
# Edit public/config.json and add your Gemini API key
npm run dev
```
Then open http://localhost:5173
**Available Scripts** (table format from package.json):
- `npm run dev` — Start dev server (--host 0.0.0.0)
- `npm run build` — Type-check and build for production
- `npm run preview` — Preview production build (port 4173)
- `npm test` — Run tests
- `npm run lint` — Lint with Biome
- `npm run lint:fix` — Lint and auto-fix
- `npm run generate-assets` — Pre-generate companion character assets via Gemini
**Project Structure** (tree showing key directories):
```
src/
api/ — Gemini API client and config loader
audio/ — Sound effects and speech synthesis
companion/ — Character definitions, AI dialogue, fallbacks
forest/ — Forest scene rendering and reward logic
game/ — Keyboard, levels, typing engine, word lists
storage/ — IndexedDB persistence layer
ui/ — Screen management and parent dashboard
styles/ — CSS (single main.css with custom properties)
assets/ — Companion avatars, character sheets, fallback SVGs
types.ts — Shared type definitions
main.ts — App entry point
app.ts — App initialization and routing
public/
config.json — Runtime config (API keys, not committed)
scripts/
generate-assets.ts — Pre-generate character images
```
**How It Works** section:
Explain the core loop in 2-3 paragraphs:
1. The child picks a companion and starts a level. Each level introduces new keys on the home row (levels 1-6 in MVP).
2. A micro-lesson has 3 phases: Discover (see new keys light up), Practice (type prompted letters with adaptive timing), Build Words (type simple words using learned keys).
3. After completing a lesson, the forest grows: the app generates a new forest element image via Gemini API (or uses SVG fallbacks). The child is motivated to continue because they want to see what appears next in their forest — not because of points or stars.
**Configuration** section:
- Copy `public/config.example.json` to `public/config.json`
- Add your Gemini API key
- Note: The app works without an API key using built-in fallback texts and SVG images
- Note: The API key is stored client-side — this is acceptable for private/single-user use
**Deployment** section:
```bash
npm run build
# Serve the dist/ directory with any static file server
# For VPS preview:
npm run preview # serves on 0.0.0.0:4173
```
**Contributing** section:
"Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change."
**License** section:
"This project is not yet licensed. Please contact the author for usage terms."
